Prediction: 1-1
Rio Ave
Estadio do CD das Aves will host Saturday’s football game between AVS and Rio Ave, the two mid-table sides. AVS aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Santa Clara and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Rioavistas. Midfielder Lucas Moura remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Luis Freire’s men, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels.
As Rio Ave are not regarded as good travellers, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. The good news for the visitors is that defender Patrick William is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. The two teams meet for the first time in the Portuguese top flight.
Highlighted Team (Rio Ave):
Nicknamed Rio Grande, Rio Ave are a Portuguese club that compete in Primeira Liga. Rio Ave were founded back in 1939 and they welcome their rivals at Estadio dos Arcos, the stadium which can hold up to 12,815 people.
The team’s home shirt is green with white stripes, whilst the colour of their shorts is green. Rio Ave wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The club’s biggest success came in the 2014/2015 season when they represented Portugal in the Europa League group stages. Rio Ave finished the process in the last position in Group J, but they did well to record their first ever win in the competition, with the team beating Danish club Aalborg 2-0 at their Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube.
Former Real Madrid full-back Fabio Coentrao is considered one of the club’s most notable footballers. Manchester City first-choice goalkeeper Ederson played for Rio Ave in the past as well.
